Tour Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Kigali, City Tour, and Transfer to Bwindi

Arrive at Kigali International Airport in the morning, where you will be greeted by your driver-guide. After a brief meet-and-greet and orientation about the trip, you will begin your Kigali city tour.

Start your city tour with a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where you can learn about the tragic history of the Rwandan Genocide and the resilience of the Rwandan people. Next, explore Kimironko Market, a bustling local market where you can see a variety of goods, from fresh produce to traditional crafts. End the city tour with a visit to the Inema Art Center, where you can admire contemporary Rwandan art and interact with local artists. Enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant.

After lunch, depart Kigali around 2:00 PM for a scenic drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The drive will take you through beautiful landscapes, including the rolling hills of Rwanda. Check into your lodge. Enjoy a relaxing dinner at the lodge and spend the night at the lodge, resting for the adventure ahead.

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi and Transfer Back to Kigali

Start your day with an early breakfast at the lodge. Head to the park headquarters by 7:00 AM for a briefing by the park rangers. During the briefing, you will learn about the trekking procedures, safety guidelines, and the specific gorilla family you will track.

Embark on your gorilla trekking adventure at 8:00 AM. The trek through the dense forest can take from a few hours to most of the day, depending on the location of the gorillas. Spend an hour with a gorilla family, observing their behaviors and taking photographs. After the trek, return to the park headquarters. Take some time to rest and enjoy a packed lunch provided by your tour company. Reflect on the unforgettable experience and receive a certificate of participation.

Begin your journey back to Kigali in the early afternoon. The return drive offers another opportunity to take in the stunning scenery of Rwanda. Arrive back in Kigali in the late afternoon or early evening. Your driver-guide will drop you off at your hotel or the agreed drop-off point, marking the end of your exhilarating 2 days gorilla trekking adventure.

Additional Notes

Packing Essentials: Bring sturdy hiking boots, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, a rain jacket, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a hat. A good camera with extra batteries is also recommended.

Fitness Level: Ensure you are in good physical condition, as the gorilla trek can be demanding, involving steep and uneven terrain.

Respect Wildlife: Follow the guidelines provided during the briefing to ensure both your safety and the gorillas’ well-being. Maintain a respectful distance from the animals.

 Verified Dream Trip to Africa
We have been planning our dream trip to Africa for years now (in September 2025) and contacted quite a few guide companies to get itineraries and costs. We eventually found Marvin at Kofi Travel Safaris Team. This man is just amazing! He has spent a lot of time helping us to create an itinerary for travel to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. He won our hearts! His has excellent English language skills and is very easy to talk to. We will definitely go with them. We are writing this review long before we are to leave to let anyone interested to go how great he is to work with. Of course, we are very much looking forward to meeting him in person next year!

 Verified Self Drive Car rental
I recently rented a self-drive car in Kenya and had an excellent experience. The vehicle was in great condition, fully equipped with a rooftop tent and camping gear, and handled various terrains effortlessly. Customer service was outstanding—responsive and helpful throughout the process. Renting a self-drive car gave me the freedom to explore Kenya at my own pace. Highly recommend!

 Verified 2 weeks top safari in western Uganda (hiking, gorillas, chimps, rafting)
We went on a 2-week safari in western Uganda (Lake Bunyoni, gorilla trekking, rafting, Victoria NP, chimp trekking and 8-day hike in the Rwenzori Mountains). It was an extremely varied and wonderful trip. The planning and organization by KTS was great, the team made a lot of effort and responded to all of our requests. The support was excellent. Our guide (Alonso) also always kept us very well informed, always friendly and helpful. I can definitely recommend the tour and KofiTravelSafari.
